| | Library reference desk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If the library doesn't have information on a given topic, or if the library user wants more information, the librarian can refer the library user to another library or to an organization that can be contacted by phone or mail. | | | The library staff member that sits at a reference desk is generally required to have a Masters in Library Science. | | | Typically, a reference desk can be consulted either in person, by telephone, through email or online chat, although a library user should come to the library in person for all but the simplest research questions. |
